Classic Fedora (AC)
Look at that weave! This is the same Classic Fedora style shown above. But I had these hats custom woven for me with specially designed “open weave” crowns.
The dark areas are spaces between the straw. The light areas are the straw itself. This style of “open weave” allows the trade winds to have free trade with your head. Sort of like having an air conditioned hat, hence the (AC).
I have a personal hat with this diagonal pattern. It’s one of my favorites. I like it so much I thought you probably would too. So last year I decided to commission a few dozen hat bodies to be specially woven for me, all with this same pattern.
Usually, the geometric designs in the weave change from hat to hat. None of the weavers could remember anyone ever making several dozen hats with the same geometric pattern.
Get ’em while they last.
